PLAYING THE RADIO

position.

HI - for normal sound
LO - to reduce high frequencies
To turn off the radio, rotate OFF/VOL upward until it clicks.
USING THE EARPHONE
To listen in privacy, plug the supplied earphone into the EAR jack.
Note: The internal speaker automatically disconnects when you plug in the
earphone.
Listening Safely
Do not listen at extremely high-volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. To protect your hearing,
follow these guidelines when you use earphones.
Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety
Do not wear the earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle. This can cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when you listen at normal volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.
FCC INFORMATION
The radio might cause interference on the TV or another radio's receiver,
even when it is operating properly. To determine whether the radio is
causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, the
radio is causing the interference. Try to eliminate the interference by:
Moving the radio away from the receiver
Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using the radio.
